Summary: Really 3 & 1/2, but as part of the series, I give it 4
Review: While not my favorite of the series, "The Seduction of Sara" is an enjoyable romp. Sara is not my favorite heroine; she's too bent on mischief without concern for the consequences. You'd think her ex-husband's escapades would push her into greater propriety. But Nick is an excellent character; his bouts with excruciating migraines are an interesting twist. Unfortunately, that problem is never really dealt with in any final way; only the accompanying problem of pain killers is addressed--and that without certainty.However, secondary characters Anthony & Anna and Delphi & Henri help make up for those deficiencies, as do the many incidents of comic relief. There is a poignancy to Nick & Sara's romance that also tugs at the reader's emotions. Not the best of the series, certainly, but welcome within the context of them all. Because of that, I'd recommend reading it in order.

Summary: I absolutely loved this book!
Review: Wow - I did not expect to like Nick even a little bit - not so much because he was a rake - but he just seemed to be totally lacking in any true feelings for anyone or anything. Along comes Sara - and though he thought he would just seduce her for his mistress - she was not interested in that role -- actually she was not interested in any role. Sara had already had one disasterous marriage to a faithless husband. And did not mourn his death at all.She wanted to be free and on her own. However after each encounter Nick and Sara seemed to have this connection and finally they give into their attraction and of course Sara is compromised. Nick, trying to be more of a gentleman and work his way back into society agrees to marry - actually he is quite willing. But there are the demons that plague Nick - headaches that capture the very sole of his being for days at a time. He is convinced that he will eventually die because of these headaches and is determined to never have children and to keep the lovely Sara at arms length. Well of course she is determined to have her love cure him from himself. These demons were the cause of much of Nicks lifelong behavior. One feels almost heartbroken for him. And this story really does show how the love of the right woman does perhaps give one reason to hope and believe in true love!!
